A member asked:
What is the cumulative dosage of isotretinoin for moderate acne? will i relapse if i take so much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You won't relapse: but taking too much Isotretinoin is dangerous. There are many side effects to overdose, and toxicity can even be deadly in rare cases. Stick to the doses prescribed by your doctor. Hope this helps!
